Southern  Railway  System 
Textile  Directory 


THIS  directory  of  textile  manufacturing  plants  in  territory  served  by  Southern  Railway  System 
includes  all  of  the  plants  completed  and  put  in  operation  up  to  January  1,  1927.    It  also  lists  all 
of  the  new  plants  and  important  additions  to  plants  under  construction  on  that  date. 

The  edition  of  1926  listed  1,043  concerns  operating  13,178,395  spindles,  260,?4i  looms,  and 
47,736  knitting  machines.  This  edition  lists  1,080  plants  of  all  kinds  in  operation  January  1,  1927, 
operating  13,397,047  spindles,  261,352  looms,  and  49,567  knitting  machines.  During  the  year,  in- 
cluding those  under  construction  at  the  end  of  the  year,  180  additions  were  made  to  existing  plants. 

In  all  of  the  southern  states  there  are  now  17,936,264  spindles,  or  47.95  per  cent  of  all  the 
machinery  engaged  in  spinning  cotton  in  the  United  States.  The  continued  southward  movement 
of  the  cotton  textile  industry  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  there  was  a  net  increase  of  189,140  spindles 
in  the  south  and  a  net  decrease  of  656,604  spindles  in  all  other  states  in  1926. 

Heretofore  New  England  has  led  all  other  parts  of  the  United  States  in  cotton  manufacturing 
equipment.  On  January  1,  1927,  there  were  184,738  more  spindles  in  place  in  the  mills  in  the 
cotton-producing  states  than  in  the  New  England  mills.  The  South  has  led  in  spindle  activity  for 
several  years  and  has  now  achieved  leadership  in  manufacturing  capacity. 

The  growth  of  the  southern  textile  industry  and  the  increased  consumption  of  cotton  in  southern 
mills  as  compared  with  other  parts  of  the  United  States  are  graphically  shown  by  the  diagrams  on 
the  following  page. 


COTTON   SPINDLES  IN  UNITED  STATES  MILLS-YEARS  1880-1926 


MILLS  IN  COTTON  GROWING  STATES 


MILLS  IN  ALL  OTHER  STATES   f=3 


The  above  diagram  shows  the  growth  of  the  cotton  textile  industry  in  the  south  as  compared  with  other  parts 
of  the  United  States  since  1880.  The  soHd  black  columns  represent  the  number  of  spindles  in  mills  in  cotton- 
producing  states  and  the  shaded  columns  the  number  in  the  mills  in  all  other  states. 

It  will  be  noted  that  since  1880,  when  the  cotton-producing  states  had  only  a  very  small  proportion  (5.27  per 
cent)  of  the  total  spindles  in  the  United  States,  there  has  been  a  steady,  almost  uniform,  increase  from  year  to 
year,  and  that  the  number  of  spindles  in  other  states  reached  a  maximum  in  1922  and  has  shown  a  decrease  in  each 
subsequent  year.  The  net  decrease  since  1922  outside  of  the  south  has  been  1,512,965  spindles,  as  compared  with  a 
net  increase  of  1,971,883  in  the  south  in  the  same  ptriod.

The  above  diagram  shows  the  consumption  of  cotton  in  southern  mills  since  1880,  as  compared  with  the  con- 
sumption in  the  mills  in  all  other  states.  It  will  be  noted  that  the  consumption  of  cotton  in  southern  mills  exceeded 
consumption  in  all  other  states  in  1911  and  in  each  subsequent  year. 

In  1926  southern  mills  took  4,757.902  bales,  or  71.16  per  cent  of  the  total  cotton  consumption  of  the  United 
States,  while  mills  in  all  other  states  took  only  1,928,562  bales,  or  28.84  per  cent  of  the  cotton  consumed.  The  mills 
of  New  England,  with  17,751,526  spindles,  took  onlv  1.611,291  bales,  or  24.09  per  cent  of  the  cotton  consumifid. 
This  is  accounted  for,  in  part,  by  the  fact  that  in  1926  the  southern  mills,  with  17.936,264  spindles  in  place,  oper- 
ated 61,520,349,555  spindle-hours,  while  the  mills  in  other  states,  with  19,468,208  spindles  in  place,  operated 
35.480.024,187  spindle-hours.  In  other  words,  southern  mills,  with  47.95  per  cent  of  the  spindles,  worked  63.42 
per  cent  of  the  total  spindle-hours  in  that  year.

Southern  Railway  Development  Service 


THE   Southern   Railway   Development   Service   is   maintained   by   Southern   Railway   System  to   promote  the   development   of  the 
territory   served  by  its   lines   m   Virginia,   North   Carolina,   South    Carolina,    Georgia,    Northern    Florida,    Alabama,    Mississippi, 
Southeastern    Louisiana,    Kentucky,    Tennessee,    Southern    Indiana  and  Southern  Illinois. 

The  purpose   of  the   Southern   Railway   Development   Service    is   Service  to  You. 

If  you  want  a  manufacturing  site  close  to  sources  of  supplies  of  raw  materials,  convenient  to  coal  or  hydro-electric  power,  and 
where  labor  conditions  are  good; 

If  you  are   looking  for  a   home  where  winters  are  mild  and   summer  heat  is   moderate; 

If  you  want  a  farm  or  orchard  where  moderate-priced  lands,   long  growing  seasons,  fertile  soils  and  easily  accessible  markets 
contribute  to  profits; 

The    Southern    Railway    Development    Service    will    help    you    find   it. 

There  is  no  charge  for  this  service.     It  is  based  on  the  sound  business  proposition  that  a  railroad  can  prosper   only  as  a  re- 
sult of  the  prosperity  of  the  people  served  by  it. 

It  is  to  our  interest  to  help  you  find  the  best  location  possible. 

We  want  to  locate   you  where  you  can  succeed,  for  if  your  business  is  to  be  profitable  to  the  railroad,  it  must  first  be  profit- 
able to  you. 

Correspondence   in   regard   to   locations   in   the   territory   served   by   Southern    Railway   System   will   have   prompt   and   efficient 
attention.

The  Map  Tells  The  Story 

The  opposite  map  shows  in  a  graphic  way  the  present  development  of  the  textile  industry  in 
territory  served  by  Southern  Railway  System,  also  its  relation  to  the  coal  fields  of  the  south  and  the 
electric  power  transmission  lines. 

Each  dot  on  this  map  represents  25,000  spindles,  small  circles  being  used  to  represent  less  than 
25,000  spindles.  It  is  impossible,  on  a  map  of  this  size,  especially  in  the  more  congested  parts  of  the 
territory,  to  show  all  of  the  towns  at  which  there  are  textile  plants,  and,  to  some  extent,  groups  of 
dots  and  circles  include  those  located  at  two  or  more  points.  The  map  shows  the  general  geographi- 
cal location  of  the  textile  industry.  Detailed  information  as  to  each  city  and  town  and  as  to  each 
plant  will  be  found  in  the  tables  in  which  the  plants  are  listed. 

The  dots  and  circles  represent  13,397,047  textile  spindles  of  all  kinds,  of  which  13,234,361  are 
cotton  spindles,  representing  73.79  per  cent  of  all  the  cotton  spindles  in  the  cotton-growing  states. 
The  total  spindles  shown  include  121,486  in  woolen  and  worsted  mills  and  41,200  in  silk  mills. 

Where  Cotton  Manufacturing  is  Profitable 

A  glance  at  the  map  will  show  that  the  geographical  location  of  Southern  Railway  is  most 
advantageous  for  the  concentration  of  cotton  from  all  parts  of  the  cotton  belt.  It  also  shows  that 
territory  served  by  the  System  is  well  located  with  reference  to  coal  for  power  and  heat.  Due  to 
the  shorter  haul  from  the  mine,  coal  delivered  on  Southern  mill  sidings  is  cheaper  in  proportion 
to  power  produced  than  either  coal  or  fuel  oil  in  the  New  England  and  North  Atlantic  states. 

As  is  shown  by  the  map,  the  System  traverses  and  surrounds  the  Southern  Appalachian  and 
Piedmont  sections  containing  the  principal  hydro-electric  power  developments  and  opportunities  of 
the  south,  and  the  territory  is  covered  by  a  network  of  power  transmission  lines.  The  transmis- 
sion lines  of  all  of  the  principal  companies  are  inter-connected,  forming  a  great  super-power  zone 
in  which  deficiencies  of  power  in  any  one  locality  are  supplied  by  surpluses  from  other  localities. 
The  electric  power  situation  is  constantly  being  strengthened,  not  only  by  bringing  in  new  hydro- 
electric powers,  but  also  by  the  construction  of  large  steam  power  plants,  supplementing  water 
power  and  maintaining  service  during  periods  of  low  water. 

Climatic  conditions  are  unexcelled.  Winters  are  short  and  mild.  Outdoor  operations  can  be 
carried  on  practically  every  day  in  the  year.  Snow  and  ice  do  not  impede  traffic  or  prevent 
employes  from  reaching  their  work  on  time.  The  influences  of  the  Appalachian  Mountain  ranges, 
the  Atlantic  Ocean  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  upon  the  climate  are  such  that  summer  heat  is  not  ex- 
cessive.    In  much  of  the  territory  hot  nights  in  summer  are  unknown. 

Labor  is  efficient  and  adaptable.  The  white  population  is  descended  almost  entirely  from 
colonial  stock,  94.98  per  cent  of  the  white  people  in  the  territory  being  of  native  parentage  on  both 
sides,  as  compared  with  55.82  per  cent  for  all  other  states.

Hauling  Cotton  to  the  Mill  and  Cotton  Goods 

to  the  Market 

Taking  into  account  its  tonnage  of  raw  cotton  and  of  cotton  mill  products,  Southern 
Railway  System  is  the  largest  carrier  of  cotton  in  the  world. 

Accompanying  the  rapid  growth  of  the  textile  industry,  and  especially  the  present-day 
development  of  dyeing,  bleaching  and  finishing  in  the  South,  there  has  been  built  up  a  wide- 
spread distribution  of  cotton  goods  directly  from  the  mills. 

The  management  of  Southern  Railway  System  has  recognized  the  opportunity  and 
the  obligation  thus  created  for  an  efficient  system  of  assembling  and  distributing  textile  mill 
products.  Textile  mill  products  are  assembled  daily  at  Spencer  Transfer  (Salisbury,  N.  C), 
at  Hayne  Transfer  (Spartanburg,  S.  C),  at  Inman  Transfer  (Atlanta,  Ga.)  and  at  John 
Sevier  Transfer  (Knoxville,  Tenn.),  where  they  are  loaded  into  package  cars  and  forwarded 
on  special  trains  scheduled  for  continuous  movement  to  Southern  Railway  terminals.  Daily 
through  trains  operate  from  John  Sevier  Transfer  (Knoxville,  Tenn.)  and  carry  through 
cars  of  cotton  goods  to  Cincinnati,  Louisville,  St.  Louis,  Memphis,  and  through  these  gate- 
ways without  transfer  to  Chicago,  111.,  St  Paul,  Minn.,  Minneapolis,  Minn.,  Kansas  City, 
Mo.,  Cheyenne,  Wyo.,  Springfield,  Mo.,  Detroit,  Mich.,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  other  points  in 
the  North,  Northwest  and  West  Inman  Transfer  (Atlanta,  Ga.)  has  similar  operation  in- 
cluding cars  loaded  to  the  Southwest  to  and  through  New  Orleans. 

Mill  products  loaded  daily  at  Spencer  Transfer  (Salisbury,  N.  C.)  are  handled  in  solid 
through  trains  to  the  East  via  Potomac  Yards,  all  rail,  and  via  Pinners  Point  (Norfolk, 
Va.),  rail  and  water.  From  the  South  Carolina  section  there  is  a  daily  package  car  service 
to  Charleston,  S.  C,  by  which  route,  in  connection  with  the  Clyde  Steamship  Line,  expedi- 
tious rail  and  water  service  is  provided  to  New  York  and  the  East. 

Particularly  good  facilities  are  provided  for  shipments  of  textile  mill  products  direct  to 
Cuba  by  through  package  cars  loaded  at  Spencer  Transfer  and  Inman  Transfer  direct  to 
Havana  via  the  Key  West  and  Havana  Car  Ferry.

ton, D.  C,  for  a  copy  of  Southern  Railway  System  Package  Car  Directory.
